Introducing Apple Sports, a new app for sports fans

I’ve just installed this. If there wasn’t an official news release (thanks for the link) I would have thought this was fake.
There’s no NFL. Under My Teams, you can’t select one of your teams to get information about them. There’s no games scheduled for today, and nothing shown for yesterday. No spring training MLB. And, most importantly, there’s no Widget.
Thanks, this is super interesting, but I’ll stick with TheScore for now.
Hopefully this is good, I’m tired of ESPN trying to force me to watch a 30 second ad just to view a 15 second long highlight.
No PDGA, no esports, no F1 ☹️
Oh wait, it’s even sadder! PDGA is fucking disc golf, which is even less of a sport than actual golf.
Hopefully they move the sports content in the news app over to this one. Don’t use the news app a ton but it bothers me that sports gets the center tab when I’m not at all a sports person.
Interesting to see this drop with a press release without much fanfare. Perhaps a sign of sports content coming to Apple TV+? There’s been on and off rumours about them bidding for sports rights.
Disney are also trying to start a new sports streaming service with some other sports networks. It would be great to see more options in the area.
